Answer:

The answer is -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve the problem, you need to first set up an equation, with a variable, and solve using inverse operations.  Using context clues from the problem, we know that 'difference' is subtraction, 'times' is multiplication and 'equal' is the equal sign, or total.  So, using the numbers and clues, I can set up the following equation:  8x - 3 = -19.  To solve for 'x' I need to first add 3 to both sides of the equation to get 8x = -16.  Next, I need to divide both sides of the equation by 8 to get x = -2.  Therefor, your final answer is -2.  You can double-check by putting this number into the equation and solving:  8x(-2)  - 3 = 16, or -16 - 3= -19, -19 = -19.

What is the algebraic expression that best describes the sequence 2, 4, 8, 16, 32?
DENIUS [597]

x+2 because it just doubles hon so the pattern can actually tell you the expression.

So for example,

if x=2 then 2+2 is 4

if x=4 then 4+4 is 8

and so on and so forth.

I really hope that this makes sense and helped you out in a way hon:)

a ball is dropped from the height of 64 feet. its height can be modeled by the function h(t)=-16t^2+64, where t is the time in s
puteri [66]

Answer:

It takes 1.323 seconds for the ball to fall by 36 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the ball dropped from a height of 64 ft is modeled by the equation:

h(t) = -16t² + 64 where t is the time in seconds.

To find the time it takes to fall 36 ft, we substitute h(t) too be 36 ft and then solve the resulting quadratic function.

Substituting h(t) to be 36 ft:

36 = -16t² + 64

multiply through by -1

-36 = 16t² - 64

add 36 to both sides

16t² -64 + 36 = -36 + 36

16t² - 28 = 0

add 28 to both sides

16t² - 28 + 28 = 0 +28

16t² = 28

Divide both sides by 28

16t²/16 = 28/16

t² = 1.75

Find squre root of both sides

√t² = √1.75

t = 1.323 seconds

It takes 1.323 seconds for the ball to fall by 36 feet
